Jamie cullum did it first years ago with his cover of ‘Frontin’ by N*E*R*D, and it hasn’t really been done since. Then I see this cover by Wouter Hamel, a Dutch jazz/pop crossover artist. It felt a bit wrong but it comes out good in the end. I think…
Kenwood House is an estate owned by English Heritage, and every summer it hosts a series of concerts on it’s grounds- and charges insane amounts of cash for tickets. Which is fine, if the weather’s good. But it was raining. Heavily. And so, while sitting on deckchairs in the open air smelling soggy clothes from the people around us wasn’t very nice, Jamie Cullum was really good. I’ve wanted to see him live for so long and despite the shit weather, I reckon it was probably one of the best gigs I’ve seen in a really long time. There’s something about jazz that just sounds brilliant live.
I just brought tickets to see Jamie Cullum at Kenwood House in August. It’s all very posh…
